The UNESCO Chair in Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving, and Storage (MATECSS) at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), Canada, focuses on addressing global challenges related to sustainable energy. Established in collaboration with UNESCO, this chair is dedicated to advancing research and innovation in energy materials and technologies that are...
Keywords: Photovoltaics, sustainability, perovskites, circular economy.
Theme: Energy Materials
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising emerging technology on the cusp of commercialisation. With record power conversion efficiencies >26%, they are excellent candidates for low-cost and low-embodied energy photovoltaics. Their emergence as a promising technology is timely as we are on...
The UNESCO Chair Aid4GEA on Technologies and Materials for Green and Energy Applications has just been established at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy, and at the Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. It aims to strengthen awareness of the key role of advanced materials and technologies to promote sustainable development, especially in developing countries. Materials and...
OVERVIEW
Today’s global availability of a wide range of electronic goods facilitates unprecedented access to education, progress in science as well as the preservation of cultures around the world, granted there are substantial issues with the fair distribution of these benefits. Our current systems of production and consumption, however, generate vast amounts of Waste Electrical and...
